Day three:

This morning we boarded our bus along with driver Jorge and our local guide Antoine for our morning sightseeing tour of Paris.  Our tour included many of the landmarks recognized throughout the world such as the Opera House, the Madeleine Church, the Place de la Concorde, the Champs Elysees, the great Arc de Triomphe,  and the Eiffel Tower.


Due to the tragic fire, we were unable to see the majestic Notre Dame Cathedral but we did visit the Church of Saint Sulpice, where, as Fr. Tony shared with the group, Blessed Father Moreau was sent to receive training in seminary formation.



It was quite special to be in the Church where Father Moreau has celebrated Mass.

From Saint Sulpice we headed to Les Caves du Louvre for a wonderful wine tasting where we learned about the three different french varietals as well as the bottling and cork selection process.


Our tasting included a quiz of our olfactory system to detect various components to French wine. 

After the tasting, we were treated to an afternoon of free time to explore the city before heading to the bank of the Seine River for our evening cruise.  We enjoyed a breathtaking view of the City of Light including evening views of some of the greatest monuments in the world such as the Eiffel Tower.
